  4. Don't ever buy a bike off of Ebay. Especially one that is
    priced like that. I have heard way too many stories of
    bike scams.

  5. could someone inform me of these "scams"? how do they
    work? oh, and while im at it, if i do come across a bike
    of that price on ebay, and i want to buy it, is there any
    way i can get my momey back if the bike isnt as was
    described, or shown in the photo`s. like for example a
    cash on delivery type of thing where the buying can check
    out the bike first#?

  6. aah, i have an idea, if i was to contact the bloke who has
    the bike, and get him to deliver the bike into a well known
    bike shop in his area, then they could check it out and ship
    it for me (for a fee of course) say, a couple a hundred
    dollars for example. if im gonna spend 2-3000 dollars on a
    bike, i`d rather spend the extra making sure it was the real
    deal. could be an idea anyway.

    That might not be a bad idea, but if another person is
    willing to buy it without that hassle, you may be out of
    luck.

    And, of course, you have no idea how good the bike shop is
    or how well the owner knows the seller.

    Somebody steals Ebay account. Offers expensive item (laptop,
    bike, stereo, etc) at a very good price. Asks to be paid by
    Western Union. Item apparently sent, money goes through,
    item never arrives, you're out of pocket with no recourse.

    Ebay scams are pretty big at the moment - they work in
    reverse too.

    That's between you and the seller.

    You might want to check out Escrow.
